After 1 year and 11 months without a Mercedes in my garage, I'm back at it once more, with a new 2015 C300 RWD, picked up nice and fresh from Walnut Creek Mercedes in Northern California. I got a smoking deal on it, and got it just the way I wanted it! I highly recommend Walnut Creek MBZ! This is my second car from them (my first being me W211 E55 AMG), and I dealt with George Nimjeh. I can't recommend better people than him or the many people that work there. Truly top notch!
I realize some of you are new on the forum and may not know me, so please allow me to reintroduce myself: I'm a Mercedes addict.
Just a couple of pics of my last two projects:
First, the E55 I had bought from Walnut Creek:
And my last Benz, My W221 S550:
And now, my new C300:
As you can imagine, there will be a few mods done to it. Wheels, drop, carbon fiber diffuser and trunk lip, tune, and whatever remains to be determined.
I've put 300 miles on the C300 since yesterday (driving it home was 280 miles), and it's a beautiful ride! Major kudos to Mercedes for designing something so incredible!

Congrats! Can you compare the S550 to the C300?, just curious on your perspective.

The S550 is a solid car, very heavy. It's huge compared to the C. BUT, in terms of design and technology, the C is lightyears ahead! I didn't have bluetooth streaming or any of that stuff.
In terms of design and driving, the C is so much more exciting! It seems counter intuitive to get from an S to a C, but I did drive a GS350 and an A4 since I've been out of the S, so that gave me some time to get acclimated to a smaller car.
Bit different from your previous rides, but really smart. What made you elect for the C300 over the 400? - as I'm guessing you'll be looking to add a few more horses....
Congrats! Curious question, is your illuminated star color matching your headlights? Mine on my GL is yellowish...
Matches pretty well! I'd say the headlights are bluer and the star is maybe a tad whiter, but definitely not yellowish at all.
I did not test drive the 400. I don't care for 4matic. Maybe if I test drove it I would've like it...who knows. But I'm actually very pleased with the power on the 300. We'll see what's next in a couple of years.
